The Mystery of Locked Rooms – A Thrilling Middle Grade Puzzle Adventure Full of Riddles, Danger, and Hidden Treasure

From the acclaimed author of Scritch Scratch and What Lives in the Woods comes The Mystery of Locked Rooms—a fast-paced, twisty middle grade mystery perfect for fans of escape rooms, secret passages, and high-stakes adventures.

Twelve-year-old Sarah Greene just wants to conquer the toughest escape room in town with her best friends, West and Hannah. But when a foreclosure notice lands on her doorstep, everything changes. With her dad chronically ill and money tighter than ever, Sarah fears losing her home—until a legend of a hidden treasure sparks a daring plan.

According to town lore, three brilliant brothers built a funhouse filled with impossible riddles, secret tunnels, and one massive hidden treasure. If Sarah and her friends can find it, maybe she can save her home. But the abandoned funhouse is no ordinary puzzle—it seems to know them. Every challenge feels eerily personal. And as they swing across ropes, crawl through trapdoors, and decode cryptic messages, they realize this is more than a game.

Full of danger, friendship, and mystery, The Mystery of Locked Rooms is a heart-pounding adventure that challenges three kids to work together, trust themselves, and push past fear to unlock the truth—and maybe a treasure that could change everything.
